<p>I've been trying to write the 150 word common app essay, but I'm stuck. I don't know what to write about (I would probably write about being yearbook editor, but I'll most likely use that in my personal statement too). Do they want personal accounts or what? And is there anywhere I can see sample essays?</p>
<p>What are your ECs?
Of them, which one are you most passionate about?</p>
<p>It’s that simple. Although I would highly discourage writing your personal statement about an EC, too, unless you have something really important to say that can’t be said in the short answer. If you want to see my essay, I’ll PM it to you.</p>
